Does Anyone know what the "Summons a new Reclaimed Thunderstrike" does?I got mine this morning off 10 Onyxia but whenever I try use it to see what it does, it completes casting bar and then says, out of charges in red.Any Help Please

I assume it transforms it into Reclaimed Thunderstrike, a tanking weapon.

I recently got this weapon, and with the massive load on our server I somehow wound up making 6 full Thunderstrikes from this due to the intense lag we were enduring. Sometimes still yields the message "Out of charges" but it's unknown whether I can still create more or not.

EDIT: No I can't seem to make more, and they are all worth no money and can not be disenchanted, so the final weapon count I am holding is 6 Reclaimed Thunderstrikes and 1 Reclaimed Shadowstrike, with the Shadowstrike being the only one worth anything.

Return of vendorstrike, wonder why they chose to reimplement the least popular weapon of all time?

does any1 know if it can change back 2 the other weapon? so we could switch back and fourth?

Comment by maeltum

This weapon does the exact same amount of damage as the lvl 60 version of it. Should have increased the damage to be a bit more substantial. At lvl 60, it provided a whopping 3 additional DPS.

FYI on trading this item in raid --

I received this item last night (druid). We had a bit of a looting issue (went to a DK, however was traded to me later). The DK equipped it and created the 'Reclaimed Thunderstrike' for the raid to see what it looked like prior to trading it to me.

After I received it, I have not been able to create 'Reclaimed Thunderstrike'. The error I receive is: "No charges remain". The DK was not able to trade the casted 'reclaimed thunderstrike' to me as the casted item was considered soulbound.

We put in a ticket, so we will see what happens. Just an FYI, don't cast it unless you know its going to be yours.

------ Update - GMs fixed the issue and gave me the thunderstrike. If this happens to you just have both people ticket it and it should be fine.

I just got Reclaimed Shadowstrike and can shed more light on how these items work. The tool-tip above is misleading in that the Reclaimed Shadowstrike has one charge which summons a new Reclaimed Thunderstrike. Not completely understanding what this meant, I looked up the Thunderstrike and saw that it would better suit my needs (Druid tank) so I equipped the Shadowstrike and right-clicked assuming it would turn into the Thunderstrike. Instead, the Shadowstrike remained in my weapon slot and a Thunderstrike was placed in my inventory. So, as stated above, two polearms for the price of one! However, the "created" Thunderstrike was not able to be traded but the Shadowstrike was. In my situation, this worked out perfectly so that I was able to keep the tanking weapon and trade the Shadowstrike to another player that was in the raid. Hope this helps.

To poke fun of the older weapon from MC, this thing should have had a vendor price of 100g+

(even though it splits into 2 different weapons)

VENDORSTRIKE IS BACK

Comment by dphares

this thing is perfect for a feral druid. shadowstrike for cat dps. thunderstrike for tanking. i'm wondering if you could put berserker on one and mongoose on the other.

Comment by Ansi

OMG! Vendorstrike is back!

Comment by Brotatoe

Anyone else feel the proc on it is a little underwhelming? I mean in comparison to some of the other weapons brought back in ony 10 like viskag and deathbringer that do not have the same amount of dmg on proc that they did at 60.

Comment by briandadj

yes it happened to me as well....1) I rolled and rooted shadowstrike2) used it to see it transform to thunderstrike3) decided that it wasn't suiteable for me right away4) clicked on the "shadowstrike" and gave it to my friend5) later I realized there it was! THE thunderstrike remaining in my bag.... soulbound, can not be traded.....this is odd since I didn't see any notes or text explaining this, we thought it was "supposed" to be like the lv.60 version...this is more like "generating a thunderstrike FOR ONE TIME USE ONLY" instead of "summoning" it.

My prediction is that in the not too distant future all "reclaimed thunderstrike" s will disappear and all shadowstrikes will be patched to say "Use: Transforms Reclaimed Shadowstrike into Reclaimed Thunderstrike. (1 Min Cooldown)"

I doubt it is 'working as intended' right now by allowing you to trade them around.(note this is just my opinion but if i were you I'd make sure whoever won the roll is the person who ends up with shadowstrike and warn the thunderstrike person not to vendor their old weapon)

Comment by fatwalrus

Some people noticed you can creat the thunderstrike then trade the shadowstrike so two different people get a nice polearm.Just a word of caution before you start treating these polearms as two different drops.

First ask yourself: "why have a 1 min cooldown on an item that only has 1 charge?"

My prediction is that in a future hotfix or patch all the reclaimed thunderstrikes will vanish and all the reclaimed shadowstrikes will be updated to:"Use: Transforms Reclaimed Shadowstrike into Reclaimed Thunderstrike. (1 Min Cooldown)"

You 'might' get lucky and have it patched so all the thunderstrikes are changed too and not deleted. Just to be safe I would make sure whoever wins the roll is the person who end up with shadowstrike and tell whoever has thunderstrike not to vendor their old weapons.

Comment by Zofrenn

For an average Survival hunter, would this be a good upgrade to Marrowstrike which drops in ToTC HC? Marrowstrike seems better and looks great to boot.

Comment by Aisenfaire

Note that the proc will only proc off melee attacks and not ranged (hunter) attacks. Same goes for Thunderstrike.

Comment by Aisenfaire

1. Note that the proc will only proc off melee attacks and not ranged (hunter) attacks. Same goes for Thunderstrike.

2. Note also that the attack speed is a bit too high for melee. The higher the attack speed of the weapon, the lower the top and bottom end dps of your melee instant attacks will be. This does not apply to feral druids, however, since they have default attack speed of 1 in cat and are not affected by weapon attack speed.

Comment by youngfab

i got my Reclaimed Shadowstrike yesterday after noon and i enchant it with beserking, for some reason the beserking enchant dont work. usually my toon turn red if the beserking is on. i just notice it today when went to ulduar. so is there any thing i am doin wrong. cause i know beserking will work to any weapon right? so i spend like 30 min in the training dummy and still no beserking. when i switch to my Edge of ruin that has beserking it work right when i het the dummy. so i dont know if the weapon dont accept any enchant or it is just a glich.

Comment by RuuddieBoy

I really think Blizzard should make this like the old version so you can transfer it back and forth. I didn't see it was only 1 charge so I deleted the Thunderstrike to save bagspace. /facepalm for not reading properly, but still it's a bit silly to change the original.

Edit: Ok, after typing this message I used the weapon again and guess what... It creates a Thunderstrike for me again! Even though the weapon says No Charges.Weird game... ;)

Comment by Hozar

I'm a kitty feral druid and I auto-attacked a dummy with this for 5 minutes and Drain Life proc'd 7 times for 1025 healing. I suppose it may be more useful to an AOE-tanking bear, but considering the passive raid-wide talent Improved Leader of the Pack healed me for 35370 during that same trail, it's hard to imagine it being of any real significance to anyone.

As for proc'ing enchants not working, I put in a ticket about it to ask if this bug was actually real before blowing the gold on mongoose, and the GM said he had never heard of the problem and would look into it. I don't expect him to look into it and I wasn't going to take the chance. I just put Massacre on it for now.

Comment by Algeo

I just tested out my new Shadowstrike with Mongoose on a dummy, and I can confirm that it did indeed proc.

So don't worry about problems with proc-enchants on this weapon! :)

Comment by InorganicMatter

This IS a Feral item, period. The whole purpose of it is you get two weapons - one for bear tanking and one for cat DPS. I can sort of understand hunters wanting the Shadowstrike for the agility and armor penetration, but I am sooooo tired of paladins and death knights tripping over themselves to roll against me on this.

Comment by Absorber

I got Berserking on it and it definantly does not work in Cat form...

Comment by Levintar

Am I missing something? ....for some reason you can't duel wield them (with TG of course). I can't even dual wield my Edge of Ruin with any of these.... weird....any thoughts?, facts?, anything?

Comment by Gnur

You can't dual-wield polearms. Read the tooltip on TG.

Comment by InternetDriveby

The reason the weapon was changed to this functionality was because people used to hate on the old Shadowstrike/Thunderstrike because you would lose any enchantments on the weapon whenever you transformed it.

Comment by Absorber

I talked to a GM and they said that they are now working on this issue.Hoping for a quick fix =)

WARNING

Dont waste a beserker enchant on this weapon, it doesn't work! i did it and wasted around 900gblizzard knows this problem, they just havent fixed it yet.

Comment by Sandkorn

Do you need the Polearm skill to be 400 for this to proc in cat and bear form? I havent seen it proc yet :/

Comment by DrakkonDarkspell

It has a proc chant on it already. People should know that you can't put two chance on hit (procs) on a single item and expect them to work. Why is this a surprise?

Comment by Algeo

I'm not really sure why, but my mongoose on this weapon works fine, as well as the built-in proc on the weapon.

It feels rather odd that proc-enchants work for some people and not for others...

Comment by dataman

for everyone out there thinking if you clone it, you could sell the clone for money. and clone it again and again and again...

but no. that doesn't work.

Comment by kkemmerl

For a retadin, I was using the polearm from hHOR, Orca Hunter's Harpoon, but then these two fell into my lap. I also have Tyrannical Beheader in my bag's but was told to use the Harpoon over it because the Beheader has armor pen which is not useful for pallies. Anyways, are either the Shadowstrike or Thunderstrike worth replacing my Harpoon/Beheader for?
